Thursday Exercise: Forces Can Put on the Brakes (2013-04-25)

Unbalanced forces change the object's speed. That could mean gaining speed (like putting on the gas) or losing speed (like putting on the brakes).


Use the simulation by clicking on the image above, and land safely on the Moon AFTER moving sideways.

To get credit for this exercise,

• take a screenshot while you ;
• annotate with these two details:
  • tell your strategy for landing;
  • circle the part of the instrument panel showing that you were moving sideways;
• Choose file, and Submit!
